Lordomyrma is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.[4]

Distribution and habitat[]

The genus is known principally from Melanesia and Australia, with the one exception to this otherwise circumscribed distribution being the single species from Japan. Most species are denizens of the leaf litter in wet forest habitat, but some are known to nest and forage arboreally.[5]

Description[]

Members of the genus are small and inconspicuous, maintain colonies of modest size and tend to be shy and retiring when disturbed.[5]

Notes[]

  1. ^ The type species is Lordomyrma furcifera (by subsequent designation of Wheeler (1911)),[1] not Podomyrma caledonica, an incorrect subsequent designation by Wheeler (1919).[2][3]
